Ezekiel 29

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Godine desete, desetoga mjeseca, dvanaestoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.

Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje prema Faraonu caru Misirskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv svega Misira.

3 Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’

Govori i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo me na te, Faraone care Misirski, zmaju veliki što ležiš usred rijeka svojih, koji reèe: moja je rijeka; ja sam je naèinio sebi.

4 But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.

Zato æu ti metnuti u èeljusti udicu, i uèiniæu da se ribe u rijekama tvojim nahvataju na krljušti tvoje; i izvuæi æu te iz rijeka tvojih i sve ribe iz rijeka tvojih nahvatane na krljušti tvoje.

5 And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.

I ostaviæu u pustinji tebe i sve ribe iz tvojih rijeka, i pašæeš na zemlju i neæeš se pokupiti ni sabrati, zvijerima zemaljskim i pticama nebeskim daæu te da te jedu.

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

I svi æe stanovnici Misirski poznati da sam ja Gospod; jer su štap od trske domu Izrailjevu.

7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.

Kad te uhvatiše u ruku, ti se slomi i rasijeèe im sve rame; a kad se nasloniše na te, ti se prebi i probode im sva bedra.

8 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja æu pustiti na te maè, i istrijebiæu iz tebe ljude i stoku.

9 And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’

I zemlja æe se Misirska opustošiti i biti pusta, i poznaæe se da sam ja Gospod, jer reèe: moja je rijeka, i ja sam je naèinio.

10 Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.

Zato evo me na tebe i na rijeke tvoje, i obratiæu zemlju Misirsku u pustoš i samu pustinju, od kule Sinske do meðe Etiopske.

11 The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.

Neæe prelaziti preko nje nogom svojom èovjek, niti æe živinèe nogom svojom prelaziti preko nje, i neæe se živjeti u njoj èetrdeset godina.

12 And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.

I uèiniæu od zemlje Misirske pustoš meðu zemljama opustošenim, i gradovi æe njezini meðu pustijem gradovima biti pustoš èetrdeset godina, i rasijaæu Misirce meðu narode i razasuæu ih po zemljama.

13 For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.

Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: poslije èetrdeset godina skupiæu Misirce iz naroda u koje budu rasijani.

14 And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.

I povratiæu roblje Misirsko, i dovešæu ih opet u zemlju Patros, na postojbinu njihovu, i ondje æe biti malo carstvo.

15 It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.

Malo æe biti mimo ostala carstva, niti æe se više uzdignuti nad narode, jer æu ih smanjiti da ne vladaju narodima.

16 And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”

I neæe više biti domu Izrailjevu uzdanica da napominje bezakonje kad bi gledali za njima; i poznaæe da sam ja Gospod Gospod.

17 And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

A dvadeset sedme godine, prvoga mjeseca, prvoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.

Sine èovjeèji, Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zadade vojsci svojoj tešku službu protiv Tira; svaka glava oæelavi i svako se rame odrije, a plate ne bi ni njemu ni vojsci njegovoj od Tira za službu kojom služiše protiv njega.

19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo ja dajem Navuhodonosoru caru Vavilonskom zemlju Misirsku, i on æe odvesti narod i odnijeti plijen i pograbiti grabež, i to æe biti plata njegovoj vojsci.

20 and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.

Za trud kojim se trudio oko toga dadoh mu zemlju Misirsku, jer se za me trudiše, govori Gospod Gospod.

21 In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

U onaj æu dan uèiniti da naraste rog domu Izrailjevu, i tebi æu otvoriti usta meðu njima, i znaæe da sam ja Gospod.
